Have all the meetings you want...commercial fishing for sb will end in the next 3-5 years.
Recently saw this in reg watch...
Twenty-seven years after the government stepped in to revive the groundfish stocks, there are about the same number of groundfish and a lot fewer cod. Ironically, in the end all of this haggling over fishery management may turn out to be beside the point. Of all the seafood on the planet right now, roughly a third of it - half of it by value - is created by fish farmers, not caught by fishermen. Nutreco, the world's largest supplier of farmed salmon, says that it plans to produce 3,000 tons of cod in Norway next year, and that it hopes to hit 100,000 tons by 2010. This is several times larger than New England's total catch, no matter who is managing it.
IMO comm fishing is going away for good. This is a good thing. You want to sell fish...go grow them..leave the publics supply alone!
